Testimonials

Very beneficial to get someone ready for taking the test. Definitely helped me pass the Home Builders Exam!William in Alabama

I just wanted to let your staff know that I passed both parts of the builders exam this past Thursday. The prelicensure course was awesome and full of an awful lot of extra information that I’m sure will help me get off to a good start.Ron Scholl from Michigan

First, Thank you for offering this course in a “Fast Track” method. Unlike your competition who only offers a “2-week” program, you show respect for the students time. Second, Mike Woods knowledge and demeanor in the course presentation and interaction with the students was superb! I enjoyed his style greatly. Lastly, I cannot stress enough the importance of continuing to offer the course in a classroom style vs. online due to the opportunity to: a) ask questions, b) learn from the experience …Frank Guerin from Michigan

The course really helped me pass the exam on the first try. I asked the lady at PSI if anyone passes the exam the first try and she said No. I told her that they should have gone to the Builders License Training Institute.Thomas Lapan from Kalkaska Michigan
